With the participation of the team of the charitable organization “International Institute of Optimal Solutions ‘Tandit Foundation’” and the 12th Azov Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine, the charity evening “To Ukrainian Titans. Give Light to Children” was held.
For the third time, the event brought together caring citizens, philanthropists, and partners around an important social initiative — supporting the children of Ukrainian servicemen. As a result of the evening, more than UAH 1 million was raised, which will be directed toward organizing recreation and rehabilitation programs for the children of Ukraine’s defenders.
The initiative aims to create conditions for recovery, emotional support, and development for children whose parents carry out combat missions every day.
Representatives of business, culture, sports, and religious communities joined the event.
The initiative also received special support from Lina Kostenko, Andriy Shevchenko, Denys Prokopenko, Viktor Yushchenko, Kateryna Yushchenko, Kyrylo Budanov, and Zhan Beleniuk.
Event partners included Hub 4308, Azov Support, AZOV.ONE, and Mas Agency.The organizers emphasize that the project “To Ukrainian Titans. Give Light to Children” has already become an annual tradition that unites society around supporting military families and fosters a culture of gratitude toward Ukrainian defenders.
With the support of international partners and Ukrainian businesses, the charitable organization “International Institute of Optimal Solutions ‘Tandit Foundation’” has organized the delivery of humanitarian aid for Ukrainian servicemen.
In particular, the association Viche Ayuda Humanitaria Para Ucrania Desde Asturias, in cooperation with the Spanish Ministry of Defense and the Territorial Defense Initiative Group of Asturias, provided a shipment of fishing nets weighing 10 tons. These nets are used by Ukrainian defenders as an additional means of protection against enemy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The transportation of the humanitarian cargo to Ukraine was made possible thanks to the support of the company MHP, which provided cargo transport free of charge.
The delivered nets have significant practical value for units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, as they are used for camouflage and to reduce risks during enemy drone attacks.
The foundation emphasizes that such initiatives are a strong example of effective international cooperation and solidarity, which play a crucial role in supporting Ukrainian military personnel.
The International Institute of Optimal Solutions Foundation joined a holiday initiative supporting the families of Ukrainian defenders and funded the purchase of 2,404 traditional Yavoriv wooden “Konyk” toys, with a total value exceeding UAH 800,000.
The toys were included in gift boxes for the children of service members from the 12th Special Forces “Azov” Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine, as part of an annual holiday initiative organized by AZOV.ONE.
Yavoriv wooden toys are a symbol of Ukrainian tradition and the warmth of home. Crafted by artisans from Yavoriv, these “horses” are meant to bring children joy and a sense of care during a time when many families spend the winter waiting for their loved ones.
Supporting the children of service members is an essential part of helping Ukraine’s defenders. Creating a festive atmosphere for children helps preserve a sense of warmth, hope, and unity.
The foundation expresses its gratitude to partners and donors who joined the initiative and helped make the winter holidays brighter and warmer for the children of our defenders.
